The wires that were being installed were for security cameras that Weber State University had installed throughout the entire building. The building is currently housing approximately 50 to 55 cameras, 'Dreams, Myths, Reality' Critchlow Lecture Series published By Heidi LeBaron news editor I The Signpost Jean White questioned the creation of the Utah State Constitution. An Emeritus Professor of Political Science at Weber State University, White began researching as the centennial celebration of Utah Statehood approached. After two years of research, she presented her findings in the Critchlow Lecture Series on WSU campus in the centennial year, 1996. The lecture entitled "Dreams, Myths, and Reality," might have been lost were it not for the efforts of two WSU faculty. Now, thanks to William Allison and Susan Matt's efforts, "Dreams, Myths, and Reality" is the title essay of a book of published lectures given at 15 years of the Critchlow Lecture Series. Yesterday, Matt and Richard Sadler, the Dean of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, presented the book to the WSU Board of Trustees. The book represents a decade of compilation and editing work done by Allison and Matt. "She's an extraordinary scholar," Sadler said of Matt. "This is a great thing." Sadler noted that Matt, now the History Department Chair, has also published her own book, "Keeping up with the Joneses: 500 free vaccines still available for students By Frances Kelsey managing editor I The Signpost The Weber State University Health Center has been giving students free flu shots for roughly 15 years.

"Part of it was timing, scheduling the Envy in the American consumer society," in addition to her work on the compilation of the Critchlow Lectures. "I got to learn about Utah history, right after arriving at WSU and in Utah," Matt said. "The good thing was most of the work was done by the people giving the lectures. Dr. Alison and I really just edited them and streamlined them." Alison and Matt formatted and sequenced 20 years of western history lectures. Topics included the journeys of Lewis and Clark, responses of local Indian societies and cultural impacts of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. William Critchlow, namesake to the lecture series, set up a fund in 1990, independent of the college budget, to ensure the university could continue to have distinguished historians visit campus. "This really allows us the luxury of getting people from all over to come to campus," Matt said, "and getting new perspectives on American history in general and western history in particular." Next week, the series will continue with Historian Donald Worster. Worster received his doctorate in history at Yale, and has published several books, mostly about environmental history. He teaches at the University of Kansas. He has lectured in Europe, Asia and Africa. Next Wednesday, Oct. 23, he will add WSU to his tour.
